Sekiu is well known for recreational fishing, especially salmon. From
novice to expert, an angler can find just the right fishing experience
they are looking for. One reason Sekiu is so popular is because even small
boats can easily access the best fishing grounds. Rarely will you encounter
rough water and seasickness associated with coastal ocean fishing. Sekiu
is also an ideal spot for fish such as halibut, ling cod and sea bass,
which you'll find absolutely delicious! Fishing seasons vary, but generally,
salmon seasons are from July thru the end of September.
Bottom fishing lasts from early spring throughout the summer. Usually,
halibut season runs from the end of May thru June. Seasons are announced
each April. Please call for current regulations.

Boating Options
You may bring your own boat, which we have moorage facilities for. Our
services include a boat launching ramp and we'll provide a parking space
for your boat trailer. Or, you may choose to rent a "kicker" boat. Rental
boats are 16 feet in length and are available with a 15 hp motor. At this
time we do not offer a charter service.
